This school house was built in 1906, the area was Garfield township, Newburg township and in 1919 became Valley View township. It was used as a shool until a new school was built on Schriber Rd. it then was used as the Village Hall and police station. In 1940 it was sold and used as a house. The current owners bought it in 1945 and still live there today. They raised the grade of the land about six feet and added the new foundation because of frequent flooding in the area.
One of the employees told me that it takes them two months to set up the Christmas displays here at Valleyview Farms. There must be literally thousands of lights in the ceiling. It take them two weeks to dismantle everything afterwards.

The True Spirit Of Christmas
Here at Valley View Farms, we know a thing or two about Christmas. We've been Christmas enthusiasts since, well, almost day one. Three years after we opened as a small roadside produce stand, we ventured into the Christmas biz selling ornaments on consignment. We had such a passion for the season that, here we are 48 years later, one of the largest, most awe-inspiring Christmas shops in the country.
To us, Christmas is much more than just a day in late December when presents mysteriously appear under a tree; it’s the magical journey we take to get there. Our ride into Christmas actually begins in August (if you can believe it) when we move our spring garden displays to make way for over 125 decorated Christmas trees. Working under a canopy of 50,000 twinkling lights, our talented elves shape, light, and decorate the trees in themes such as Ravens, Gingerbread, Elvis, and 70’s Retro. Our selection of over 6,000 holiday ornaments and gifts are guaranteed to appeal to young and old alike. We have everything you need to bring the spirit of the season into your home – artificial, fresh cut, and live Christmas trees; artificial and fresh cut wreaths and garland; lights; ornaments; and gifts.
As the weather gets colder and we sip hot chocolate waiting for the first snowfall to arrive, we get more and more excited about inspiring our customers. Early in November, from dusk until closing, Valley View Farms outdoor Christmas light display illuminates the night sky with over 100,000 lights. The entire valley is set aglow with a sea of twinkling star-like lights that dazzle the mind’s eye with inspiration. We can’t wait to show you what we've done.
If you love Christmas as much as we love Christmas, start your family holiday traditions here. If you’re not a fan of the holidays, aw c'mon, who doesn't love Christmas? Stop by to see us and we will put you in the holiday spirit. Welcome to our whimsical world – our winter wonderland.

Taken with an unmodified 350D and Kood R72 filter. Compare this to the previous full-colour shot. Notice how the patches of sun on the valley floor are much more pronounced, as are the clouds.
Given this is my first IR photo, I'm pretty pleased with the result!

I wouldn't mind living in this little cabin (or is it a barn?), the view is amazing. Bella Coola valley east of Hagensborg.

I rarely have pictures of myself so none of you know who I am besides the guy who's at the other end of the lens. This was taken a couple of years ago but apart from a few more wrinkles this is it.

I heard Camp Chase go by my house so I gave a leisurely chase. The orange paint is bright and difficult to shoot in any light.
Here they are returning from Buckeye yard on main #2 approaching the Hague Avenue crossing with a super short train. They will go in reverse all the way back to the elevator on Sullivant Avenue, which now is behind the new casino.
These are the only two engines they have. #1501 was shipped off some time ago for repairs...I think.

I was leaving and heard them tell NS179 that they had a good marker and I had to dash back.
